You know that there is a reason why they provide the tar.gz file so that people using different kernels can use the driver. The RPMs are simply there for the people that don't o upgrade the kernel and stick with what Redhat gave them, making it easier for them. I don't think that compiling and installing the driver from the tar.gz is terribly hard.
As far as knowing the difference between packages, it is the end-user's responsibility to know what hardware/software he has installed on his system so that he gets the right thing. If all else fails RTFM. -- John Tobin [EMAIL PROTECTED]; AOL IM: ogre7929 http://ogre.rocky-road.net http://ogre.rocky-road.net/cdr.shtml On Tue, 02 Oct 2001 18:05:02 -0700 D> Take a look at NVIDIA's linux driver website.
